Pittsburgh:
US President Barack Obama has assured Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution asking those nations who haven't signed the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to sign it, is not directed against India.
He also said that his country would fulfill all obligations on the nuclear deal.
"We have been assured (by the US) that this is not a resolution directed against India and that the US commitment to carry out its obligations under the civil nuclear agreement, which we have signed with the United States, remains undiluted," he told reporters wrapping up his two-day visit in Pittsburgh to attend the G-20 Summit.
"That (commitment on nuclear deal) we have been assured officially by the United States Government," Singh said.
He was replying to a question about the UNSC resolution asking all non-NPT states, including India, to sign NPT.
Asked whether he had any bilateral meetings with Obama, the Prime Minister said the US President did not have bilateral meetings with any leaders because of paucity of time.
"But last night I met him and today I was seated to his right during lunch. I discussed some important issues with him," Singh said.
Earlier in the day, Singh met his British counterpart Gordon Brown and discussed bilateral matters and the current global economic situation.
He also met Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, who is likely to visit India later this year. The recent spate of attacks on Indian students in Australia is understood to have figured in the discussion.
The Prime Minister also utilised the opportunity to have a meeting with the new Japanese Prime Minister, Yukio Hatoyama.
